If you would like us to consider a change, making a concrete proposal 
would be helpful.  Additionally, I will suggest that asking for a 
limited extension for specific issues is more likely to be successful 
than a blanket request that applies to all issues.

If it helps, I've included at the bottom of this note a history of all 
of the issues in RAISED status (i.e., ones without a change proposal). 
The underlying bugs have all been open since the summer.  Some have been 
open since 2010.

The plan is to mark those issues for which we do not receive a Change 
Proposal as POSTPONED.
